The arguments which may be used
with force against women's presence at
the polls 10 not apply to her presence at
a school meeting where the business is
conducted decorously and without resort
to those practices which make elections

IN this county are ladies; their average
intelligence is greater than that of the
male teachers. If women are competent
to take charge of schools, they should
have a voice in their management and
presumptiyely, the schools would not
suffer If woman's interest in them woulc
include something more than moral sup
port.

LAWNS! 1t seems that the reason why
we are selling so many lawns this spring
is not only because of the fine assortment
of styles, but owing to our low prices as
well. We just opened out another case
of those lawns of which we have been
selling great quantities ever since March
for % cts. a yard. If you have not al
ready bought too many at higher prices
elsewhere, we advise you to get some
more of us before it is too late. You will
